Any other mods installed?

Definitely using the 2.01 patch?

[Celegalad]

Hi!
So I tried to install RJ RotWK mod, and I did it.
BUT when I start the mod, I play with the un-modded game, and I've followed the instructions.
My RJ RotWK folder get 5 folders, like the maps etc and it is installed on: C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king\RJ_RotWK

Also, my target in the shortcut is: "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king\lotrbfme2ep1.exe" -mod "C:\RJ_RotWK"

And my path: "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king"

I tried to change the path in: "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-King\RJ_RotWK" but it didn't works.

So help me please!

In fact I've the same problem than KnightofNumenor.
When I click to choose a faction in the skirmish mode or in the War of the Ring mode, I've none of the new factions.

EDIT : I only use 2.01 patch and no other mod installed

I've gotten those before too, but I solved it. I could help for some people. You might also want to take out your application data for ROTWK. That's what I did and I just deleted the one it made after I loaded it in and put my old one back in. Don't know if that helps but w/e.

This is an example of mine.
Target-"I:\Electronic Arts\ROTWK\lotrbfme2ep1.exe" -mod C:\RJ_RotWK"
Start In-"I:\Electronic Arts\ROTWK"
You need the target to go to your exe and the mod to the place it is. I tried putting the folder in another place but it didn't work so I put it back in the C:\ drive.
I can help with making the target/start in box for you guys if you didn't install to default place.

yo funbomb im havin trouble on dis step when im installing RJ_ROWTK, everytime i try to run the mod, it juss runs the original game and i have the patch and everything but im getting confused on this part of targets and stuff, if u could plz help me i would be grateful thankz!

Try doing this. Delete the RJ folder on you computer. Now extract it into your C: Drive (not Program Files/Electronic Arts/The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch King, not Application Data/My Files), and use the default shortcut (meaning don't change the target or Start In)(if you deleted the Winrar archive after installing it then download it again).

Your Traget should look like this:
"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king\lotrbfme2ep1.exe" -mod "C:\RJ_RotWK"

And your start in should look like this:
"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king"

If this doesn't work, are you using a 64-bit operating system? If so you have to change "Program Files" to "Program Files (x86)".

Hope some of this helps .

MII TARGET AND START LOOK LIKE THIS BUT IT STILL RUNS THE UN MODDED GAME, AND IF I MANAGE TO FIX MII PROBLEM WAT ARE THE CHANGES I SHOULD NOTICE? AND WHERE DO I INSERT DA (X86)???

[Pasidon]

Hmm... let's see if I can word it any better...

-Stick it in the C:Drive, nothin' else. Nothin'!
-Put that single RJ Mod file in the regular Witch King folder, and Nothin' else.
-Make sure the defalt target it right. Wasn't for me because Vista put my BFME game in a folder called "Program Files (189)"

And make sure you have your modded World Builder stuff out. Never works for me (right) with it in. Actualy... make sure every modded file is out of the main folder exept the one you need. Sticky.

[L1LD3M0N2K04]

H3Y BUT IT SAYS LIKE ERROR SUMTHIN BOUT MISSIN INI REGISTRY AND SO ON.......................


DO I STILL TRY TO REINSTALL????????

[Dalf32]

yea

[Dalf32]

if your game is installed on your original drive and the mod on the second one then i dont know if i can help you. if the game and mod are both on the second drive (or if you are willing to move the game over to the second one) then i think fixing it should be relatively easy.
if you installed the mod in the E:\ directory (no subfolders) then you should jsut be able to go into the properties of the shortcut and change the 'start in' line to equal ("path of game") and the 'target' line to equal ("path of game\lotrbfme2ep1.exe" -mod E:\RJ_RotWK).

note that both of those should be entered sans the parenthesis.
hope that helps, id like to hear back regarding how it works out.

[aNaRcHiSt44]

If you are still having a problem with that show me your shortcut links, and where you put the RJ_RotWK folder.
For example, before I had to wipe my computer a few days ago (still installing everything again; thankfully I have my dad's laptop lol) I had my RJ_RotWK folder in "C:\Program Files\" (i.e all the RJ files were in "C:\Program Files\RJ_RotWK\").
By where my files were, my shortcut was "C:\Program Files\The Rise of the Witch-King\lotrbfme2ep1.exe" -mod C:\Program Files\RJ_RotWK\
Likely the name of your game folders is different (the default I believe is The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth 2, The Rise of the Witch-King; longest bloody game name ever lol), because I changed mine so it wasn't so long.

Make sure your shortcut fits with where your game is located and where RJ is located, and make sure the -mod string is at the end of the shortcut. If you are still experiencing poblems, PLEASE post your shortcut target paths and look in directories so we can help fix your issue.

Gah.....I'm going to make a career out of this >.<

It's appreciated

If you have problems installing:

1)Unrar - put the RJ-RotWK folder in "C:\"
2)Put shortcut on detskop,open properties(right click on the shortcut)
3)
Target - "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king\lotrbfme2ep1.exe" -mod "C:\RJ_RotWK"
Start In: "C:\RJ_RotWK"

Off course you need 2.01 patch - Download here

[Dalf32]

you shouldnt put it in my documents, you should put it in the C:\ drive, not inside any subfolders. so move it to the C:\ drive and it should work fine.

[gandalfTHEwhite45]

how you put it in the c;drive? its probably a stupid ? but idk how lol
